With
considerable enthusiasm I attended “The Road to Java EE 7: Is It All
About the Cloud?” (23423) session, a panel of EE experts, late Wednesday
morning at JavaOne 2011. I always find Java EE developers and architects to be among
the smartest people around. Last year’s Java EE panel session, covered
on otn/java
and titled, “Where We Are and Where We’re Going” was fraught with more
uncertainty about the future of Java EE. This year, it’s clear: Java EE
is heading towards the Cloud. The session this year was packed even in a
much larger room than last, with roughly three times the number of
attendees as last year.
